Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2017-9735
**DESCRIPTION:**Jetty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing channel flaw in util/security/Password.java. By observing elapsed times before rejection of incorrect passwords, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain access information.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/127842 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2020-27216
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a race condition in the creation of the temporary subdirectory. By sending a specially-crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/190474 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2017-7656
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw in the HTTP/1.x Parser. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145520 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-28169
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the ConcatServlet. By sending a specially-crafted request using a doubly encoded path, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from protected resources within the WEB-INF directory, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/203492 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-28165
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input valistion. By sending a specially-crafted TLS frame, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause CPU resources to reach to 100% usage.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/199305 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2017-7658
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw when handling more than one Content-Length headers. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145522 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2017-7657
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper handling of Chunked Transfer-Encoding chunk size. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145521 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-41033
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Equinox is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by the use unencrypted HTTP communication in p2 repos. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a man-in-the-middle attack and gain access to the communication channel between endpoints to alter the local installation, and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/209186 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2021-34428
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty could allow a physical attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a session ID is not invalidated flaw when an exception is thrown from the SessionListener#sessionDestroyed() method. By gaining access to the application on the shared computer, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass access restrictions.
CVSS Base score: 3.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/204227 for the current score.
